I think that for niche blogs that the Grizz model is very sensible. For other types of blogs — for instance entourage blogs — I’m looking more at selections, with up to 10 posts on the front page. I suspect there would be more value in links if I build it that way. Any thoughts?

Hi Lissie,

I changed the link in that comment above. My punishment for Markov spammers who haven’t been sent to Akisment yet.

My philosophy on this has evolved somewhat since October of last year. For a social or semi-social blog, I’ve come to greatly prefer magazine style themes with just excerpts on the front page. For niche blogs, I’ve been going with a single article on the front page, Griz style as you mentioned, with a single Adsense or EPN block inline on the left. My entourage/link cluster blogs I’m still evolving although at present I’m using the same idea as social blogs.

Hmm not sure what the above commentator was on- but this is a useful post. I like the new magazine style formats - but I assume they ruin your adsense click through rate would that be correct? I have been experimenting with Grizzes 1 long post per a front page but totally agree there must be easy navigation for the reader to older posts
